Female Therapists in Seattle, WA

I believe that healing occurs when people are given the space to explore their unique emotional experience to better understand how it colors their worldview, sense of self, and relationships with others. Within a safe therapeutic relationship, I work with my clients to make meaning out of both mundane and extraordinary moments, unlocking their ability to live a more fully present, authentic life.

Accepting new clients! Do you feel on edge all the time? Is focusing on one task nearly impossible due to all the worries and negative thoughts that won’t leave you alone? Maybe “just get through today” is stuck on repeat in your head. Maybe you feel lost and confused about who you are and what you’re doing with your life. These experiences can feel hopeless. Together, we will navigate the circumstances and contexts that drain us, fill us with anxiety and dread, and strip us of our health and well-being. We will explore ways to feel liberated and more expansive without the weight of what you cannot control weighing you down.

Being open to understanding more about yourself takes courage. You may envision something new, but you don’t know how to get there. There may be an inner struggle of whether you are worthy or deserve to be happy. In counseling you get to be seen and heard for all that you are. With curiosity and warmth, I will listen and support you in identifying what you'd like to shift in your life to bring a sense relief and ease while more closely meeting your needs and living in balance with your values.

At Self Space, I work with adults and adolescents to help identify frustrating patterns holding you back all while reducing self-criticism, strengthening the mind-body connection, and ultimately bringing you back to yourself. Together, we can explore issues with anxiety, depression, ADHD and executive dysfunction, life transitions, self-worth, boundary-setting, relationship and friendship issues, attachment trauma, and more.

I love working with folks who are navigating a big life transition, who are wanting to understand themselves on a deeper level and who are open to creating more space for compassion and pleasure in their lives. Maybe you're coming out, maybe you're starting or ending a relationship, maybe you have experienced trauma in your life and want a better relationship with your body. I want to work with you! I am a collaborative therapist, meaning that we will work as a team to help you find your own best answers. While we will move at your pace, I will also compassionately and intentionally challenge you to expand your comfort zone.

I enjoy working with couples, adults, and teens to guide healing, positive change, and growth. Couples: I support couples from all backgrounds to improve communication, conflict patterns, and heal from relational wounds. My work is grounded in the Gottman Method, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), and tailored to the unique needs of each relationship.

As an adult child of asian immigrants, you are probably aware of what it's like to operate based on a sense of responsibility to others, to suppress your own anger and to not be able to easily connect with your feelings, desires and needs. I offer you an opportunity to heal your wounds in a deeply compassionate and trauma informed way, including healing from racial, systemic and historical trauma. I welcome and affirming of all identities, particularly QTBIPOC folx. Whether you feel stuck in your painful patterns or are looking to find more fulfilling ways to be in relationships, I can meet you where you are.

You’ve spent most of your life looking out for others—now you’re wondering who’s looking out for you. Even as a kid, you felt responsible for keeping your household running smoothly. Being resourceful and independent is a foundational part of who you are professionally and personally, but no one ever seems to reciprocate the same amount of consideration or support you give them. You’re burnt out and overwhelmed, and the people closest to you offer more stress than solace. Maybe you’re also dealing with memories from your past that you can’t seem to leave behind. Now, you just want to feel less stressed & more like yourself again.

As an interactive, solution focused therapist with over 20 years of experience, I am here for you. If you are going through a difficult time, feeling down or anxious, your relationships and life are not fulfilling and do not bring you happiness, it might be time to contact a professional. I offer support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. In a comfortable and supportive environment and with years of experience and a broad base of skills and knowledge, I want to help you in your current struggle.

I work primarily with individuals who feel bound in aversion toward themselves. Whether concerns manifest as self-hatred, shame, relational difficulties, terminal regret, questions around spirituality, depression, anxiety, or in any number of other ways, I wholeheartedly trust there is more to the story than meets the eye. I support our exploration by opening a receptive and creative space for truths that might not feel at home elsewhere. As we shift painful thought patterns out of isolation and into dialogue between two minds, new and surprising truths emerge. These can form the basis for new peace and possibilities.

Navigating the messy, painful, hopeful, and confusing parts of our life is so hard to do on our own. We may feel lost, alone, or like we will never have the kind of life we want to have. What seems to come easily for others may feel crushingly hard for us to get for ourselves. Therapy offers us the space to be witnessed in our pain and struggle while also digger deeper into the honest truths and hopes of our life. I deeply believe that we heal in community, and therapy is the perfect place to begin to allow ourself to be seen, heard, and understood in a totally safe and consistent environment.

I aim to empower others like me who have constantly heard “it is not okay to go to therapy and share your personal life with anyone,” to help shift this tabooed narrative into a more positive one. It is OKAY to share your personal life with someone who can help build that trusting relationship with you, and it is also okay to express your feelings and emotions without feeling the pressures of shame and guilt. I use the space we create together to encourage deconstructing harmful internalized messages, processing experiences of attachment and trauma, and managing relational and personal challenges.

Hello, my name is Nathalie. If you are ready for change in your life, or you are beginning to wonder what you need to move forward, you are not alone. Often, when we are experiencing anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma, it is easy to feel like our voice is lost within our struggle. If you are looking for a therapist who values your voice, and all of the things that make you YOU, I am excited to meet you and join you on your journey.

Going through rough transitions in life such as dealing with a disability, loss of someone, family conflict, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, or identity issues can take a toll on your mind, body, and spirit. It is extremely challenging to have to deal with all these emotions with nobody to vent to and explore positive ways to deal with these issues. My ideal client is someone who understands and desires a better outlook on life and a better perspective of themselves. Even though you may be going through adjustment to new challenges that create stress, anxiety, or depression, there is always hope.

My approach counseling is to promote hope, healing, contentment, and lasting growth, for the clients I have the privilege of serving. My mission is to provide a safe, nonjudgemental, and empathetic space, to dive deeper into the inevitable ebb and flow of our collective human experience. While at the same time, I'll introduce tools to help you enhance your strengths and uncover your greatest potential to evolve and heal from within. I'll utilize contextual, historical, intersectional, and cross-cultural techniques, in order to uniquely foster sustainable and transformative change to achieve and maintain holistic wellness.

I can help you find purpose and clarity in your personal life and in your relationships. You deserve to make fulfilling changes in your life and to feel better connected to the ones you love. Whether you are attempting to gain insight individually, want to feel better connected as a couple, or wish to improve your family and interpersonal relationships, I would be honored to support you in your goals.

Struggling with communication, integrity, and cheating in your relationship? Having a hard time sleeping, eating, and focusing after finding out about your partner's affair? If you're finding it hard to heal from the trauma of an affair, it may be high time to get support. I’m TJ Johnson, and as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT-A), I work with couples and families throughout Washington in repairing relationships. Whether you’re having trouble communicating, enforcing boundaries, or regulating your emotions, therapy is an opportunity to gain new skills and insights.

I work often with clients on issues such as learning to set and hold boundaries, unpacking codependency, and understanding why they are unhappy in relationships. We all find ourselves repeating behaviors and patterns that once helped but begin to no longer work for us. Often my clients are in a stuck place, a life transition, grieving a loss, or wanting to change relational patterns. Other areas of interest and experience include identifying and addressing current patterns of abuse or healing from past abuse (emotional, sexual, physical, spiritual).

I am passionate about helping people better understand their bodies and sexuality to empower them in their intimate relationships.

I believe sexual health and pleasure are fundamental to both personal well-being and fulfilling relationships. We will collaborate to help you develop a sexual life that gives you joy, pleasure, a sense of connection, and an authentic identity.
